02 Oct 12 - 07:48 AM (#3412963) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: GloriaJ - meant to add, that it's unadorned, but not that "basic", it has an ebony fingerboard for example, and is not cheap.It's my main guitar, and I did a solo acoustic guitar album some years ago, mainly using this instrument. |

02 Oct 12 - 07:59 AM (#3412969) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: Henry Krinkle I'm buying one this morning. I like Larrivees. I gave away a P-03 as a gift. But I've never had one before. I think they're better guitars than Taylors. (:-( ))= |

02 Oct 12 - 08:04 AM (#3412971) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: GUEST,999 I mostly use an L-03. Good tone, but I don't expect it to 'open up' for a few years. It's a medium size guitar so doesn't have the sound of my Martin D-28. That's a difference between a guitar built in 1962 and the Larrivee built in 2007. I like the non-gloss finish of the Larrivee. |

02 Oct 12 - 08:08 AM (#3412974) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: GUEST,999 Congratulations, Henry. Best wishes with it. The L-03 suggests one use light strings. I tune it down a tone and use mediums. Sounds ok. |

02 Oct 12 - 08:26 AM (#3412980) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: Henry Krinkle I have to buy it first. Another man? agreed to sell me a guitar this morning. We agreed on the price, meeting place and time. Then, this morning I get an email from the man? informing me that he had sold it. He could talk the talk, but wouldn't walk the walk. (:-( O)= |

02 Oct 12 - 12:49 PM (#3413155) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: Henry Krinkle I bought it. $375 and with a hardshell case, strap and Fishman pickup installed under the saddle. Time will tell if it's right for me. I like Larrivees.They don't smack of cheapness like so many other brands. (:-( ))= |

02 Oct 12 - 01:38 PM (#3413175) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: Pete Jennings That's a good buy for $375! |

02 Oct 12 - 01:47 PM (#3413178) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: Henry Krinkle I thought so. Nice leather Larrivee strap. Nice Larrivee hardshell case. Just needs new strings and clean the fingerboard. I'm happy. (:-( ))= |

02 Oct 12 - 01:55 PM (#3413181) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: GUEST,999 Small piece of advice, Henry: pay attention to humidity levels the guitar is in. This is important to read. As Pete said, darned good price considering it has a Fishman installed and the hard shell case to go with it. Look into a humidifier for it. Or make one of your own using a small plastic box with many holes in it and artificial sponge for inside the plastic box. |

02 Oct 12 - 02:01 PM (#3413186) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: Henry Krinkle I live in a humid area. So I don't worry too much. But I'll get a humidifier. Swap it around in all my acoustics in the winter. I don't want top cracks. (:-( ))= |

|
02 Oct 12 - 06:01 PM (#3413294) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: Henry Krinkle It's a 2001 model I think. I cleaned the fingerboard, cleaned the oxidation off the frets, new strings(12's) and I'm happy as can be. (:-( D)= |

02 Oct 12 - 06:57 PM (#3413314) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: GUEST,999 Do you have an offset in the saddle at the B string? |

03 Oct 12 - 03:32 AM (#3413454) Subject: RE: Tech: Larrivee OM-1? From: Henry Krinkle Yes. It's a compensated saddle. (:-( ))= |
